  As an Israeli and as a Jerusalemite, I have a special place in my heart for Hadassah. One cannot think of Jerusalem without thinking of Hadassah, without thinking of its excellent health services.
• For almost a century, Hadassah has been building Israel. When we declared independence, we didn't need to establish a medical infrastructure, because Hadassah had already built it for us.
•  After all these generations, Hadassah's hospitals are still at the forefront of Israeli medical treatment and research. Hadassah today continues to be a vital and significant factor in our health and well-being.
•  During its lifetime, Hadassah has raised billions of dollars for Israel. But Hadassah's real value is incalculable. One cannot put a price tag on the dedication of an army of thousands of volunteers in the Diaspora, defending Israel and helping us build bridges to the rest of the world.
